Brand New 2023 Corvette Z06's Engine Dies After Just 52 Miles | Carscoops carscoops
Part of what makes the C8 Corvette Z06 so special is its engine. The naturally aspirated 5.5-liter flat-plane crank V8 makes an impressive 670 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, but it seems there could already be issues with the unique powerplant.
A Z06 owner by the name of Marco Garcia reports that his car’s engine failed as it was on the way home from the dealership, and he made a video detailing his less-than-ideal experience. In the video, he explains that the issue arose while he was taking delivery of the car and came to a head on the drive home.to the dealership to pick up his new Z06, and since he didn’t have anyone else with him, the salesman offered to drive the Stingray back to Garcia’s construction yard while Garcia himself took his new Z06.
According to the odometer, the Z06 only traveled 52 miles before its engine failed, which is just barely a tenth of the 500-mile break-in period. For those wondering if it was abused before being fully broken in, we wouldn’t rule it out entirely, but it’s worth noting that the car automatically limits the engine’s redline during the break-in period to try and prevent exactly that from happening.
